Your Trusted Partner in C-UAS Readiness

From planning to sustainment, SPA—along with Red Six, an SPA Company—combines digital modeling, live “red team” C-UAS testing, and mission rehearsal. Technology like AthenaSight enables operators to visualize engagements, refine tactics, and rehearse missions, while Red Six’s live-flight emulation and proprietary analytics allow clients to test defenses against real-world threats.

The Red Six Advantage

Having worked with nearly every available C-UAS system, Red Six brings unmatched expertise in:

  • Live-flight testing
  • Threat emulation
  • Drone fabrication

We conduct live C-UAS testing at bases and critical sites—flying adversary-style drones to reveal gaps that vendor demos miss and enable faster, smarter decisions.

Red Six serves as the primary C-UAS testing partner for:
United States Secret Service
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
United States Air Force
United States Navy
United States Marine Corps
United States Army
Assessing and Training on Vulnerabilities
Red Six trains operators and partners in C-UAS tactics and defense. Our proprietary methodology for assessing site vulnerabilities exposes how adversaries exploit terrain, signals, and environments.
